Justice Manual § 9-8.012
Bureau of Prisons Resources
There are no federal facilities for juveniles, but the JDA provides the Attorney General with authority, delegated to the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), to contract with private or public agencies, or individuals, for bed space in detention or community-based facilities such as halfway houses or foster homes.
The Bureau of Prisons currently contracts with three state or local facilities in which juveniles may be housed following a finding of juvenile delinquency under the JDA. These contracted facilities are located in Texas, South Dakota, and Pennsylvania.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
